Seasonal Industrial Waste Treatment Site and Pressure Line (memo, map, ordinance distributed) e Mr. Allen said this project involved the City in acquiring property rights on five properties at the Agripac site and eight properties for construction rights of the pressure line. The Public Works Department is under contract to the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission to do this project. St aff recommends that council adopt the ordinance. Ms. Schue asked how the waste got from the cannery to Beacon Drive. Mr. Allen said the waste was moved by a separate 12-inch pressure line whose route had been established by public hearing before the Wastewater Commission. The pressure line will carry the industrial waste of the Agripac facility only. Mr. Ball asked about the longevity of the Agripac facility. Mr. Allen said that was a Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission concern that had been debated and the last official word was that the facility was here to stay. Mr. Gleason said his communications with the President of Agripac indicated that they fully intended to stay and were spending a great deal of money to upgrade the plant. Even if the plant were sold, Mr. Gleason noted the waste would still need to be moved and the new wastewater facility, which the cities of Eugene and Springfield have designed and spent millions of dollars on, will not work if the hydraulic loads are not moved to a separate site. He also noted the Metropolitan Wastewater Study completed three years ago for which public hearings were held, the public hearings on the pressure line, and the environmental impact statements completed. Mr. Gleason said in other cities in which he has worked that had liquid waste from industrial plants, the waste was moved to a separate site. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 21, 1982 Page 4
